Water, Fire, Smoke, and Mold Damage Restoration in

Wallington Borough

, 

NJ

Wallington sits low along the Passaic River, so riverside and low-lying areas face serious flood exposure, the borough has a history of river flooding, and basements take on water when the river rises. Its older homes and two-family houses were built close together with full basements, plaster walls, and aging cast-iron and galvanized plumbing, and in connected and stacked homes a burst pipe moves fast through floors and joist cavities into adjoining units. Pulling that moisture out fast and fully is what keeps a water loss from feeding mold.

Fire risk in this older, closely built housing is heightened by shared walls, stacked units, balloon framing, and decades of renovation layered over original construction, which let smoke and flames climb quickly between floors and units. We trace that spread, check shared walls, dry the structure properly, and remove odor from old plaster and wood at the source.
